Dustin Rhodes Signed Six-Year Contract With AEW In December 2024
In December 2024, Dustin Rhodes announced he had signed a new multi-year contract with AEW.
In a feature by Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, it’s revealed that Dustin signed a six-year deal with the promotion.
The feature states, “If he can make it to the end of the six-year deal he signed with AEW over the winter, in which he consults, coaches, occasionally wrestles and acts as an ambassador for the promotion, he’ll have six decades in the business. He’s endured 14 surgeries, still needs both knees replaced and his shoulders are a wreck. Still he shows up to run the school and his satellite wrestling operation, still paints his face, a tradition that started when Vince McMahon handed him a bizarre androgynous character named Goldust that was doomed to go nowhere. Dustin, with wrestling chops and comedic instincts, saw it as a way out from the shadow of his dad’s persona and made it work.”
Dustin is one-half of the ROH Tag Team Champions with Sammy Guevara and one-third of the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions with The Von Erichs (Ross Von Erich & Marshall Von Erich).
He & Guevara are set to defend the ROH Tag Team Titles against The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean) at ROH Supercard of Honor on Friday, July 11th.
Dustin Rhodes has been part of AEW since its first event AEW Double or Nothing 2019.
